The furniture is minimal in appearance, made from sheets of bent aluminium in two different thicknesses – which also give the chairs and tables their names.

The material, which is typically used for aeronautical projects, is super lightweight, also creating a more comfortable, springy back for the furniture.

The pieces feature a slanting pattern made using laser-cutting that references the extension's porcelain floor, and created to cast striking shadows. The furniture is powder-coated in silver and white to match the colour of the tiles, and also a contrasting bright red.

AL_A worked with Moroso to ensure the furniture would be an "integral part" of the building, which adds an extra 6,400 square metres of space to the London museum, and is the largest expansion it's undergone in 100 years.

It's not the first time Levete's firm has designed furniture for the London museum. It collaborated with design brand Established & Sons in 2012, alongside several other studios, to create a series of benches for the V&A courtyard.
